RootsBooster   24 #465 Posted March 12, 2012 This is the skeleton of a sand dollar. The sand dollar is an ocean animal related to the star fish and sea urchin. Look at the top surface and find the holes that form the star shape. Tube feet stuck out from these holes and were used for breathing and eating. At the back of the shell is the mouth area where the sand dollar took in small particles of sea plants and sea animals. The five jaws found inside (the doves) crushed the food. Small purplish spines once covered the body and helped it wiggle through the sand water.   --------------------------------------------------------------------------------  The sand dollar lives slightly buried in the sand in shallow coastal waters. It's thin, circular body is about 2 to 4 inches (5 to 10 centimeters)wide. It's dried skeleton looks like a large, white coin while a living sand dollar resembles a fuzzy brown cookie. The animal eats tiny aquatic organisms that it finds among the sand grains or traps from the surrounding waters. They live in large numbers in many parts of the world and are frequently tossed ashore after storms.  A sand dollar releases eggs from small openings near the center of the top of the body. The eggs develop into free-swimming larvae which eventually sink to the ocean floor and grow into the adult form.  Sand dollars belong to the phylum Echinodermata, class Echinoidea.       (The history and legend)      There's a pretty little legend That I would like to tell Of the birth and death of Jesus Found in this lowly shell  If you examine closely, You'll see that you find here Four nail holes and a fifth one Made by a Roman's Spear.  On one side the Easter Lily, Its center is the star That appeared unto the shepherds And led them from afar.  The Christmas poinsettia Etched on the other side Reminds us of His birthday Our Happy Christmastide.  Now break the centre open And here you will release The five white doves awaiting To spread Good Will and Peace.  This simple little symbol, Christ left for you and me To help us spread his Gospel Through all eternity  Seeing as Sand Dollars stole my explanation, I'll make a new one up:  The name Rootsbooster comes from an approach to internet forums known as Rootsboosting. "Root" being (wherever possible) a credible/reliable/factual source of information, and "booster" refers to promoting the use of the former.  In short, wherever possible I make posts based on fact rather than just taking someone else's word for it or perpetuating rumours etc.  If I post something that is purely an opinion (with no factual basis) I add "IMO" or "in my opinion".  Sometimes I just write silly stuff though. Most people are able to tell when I'm being serious or not Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
